Wow, what do you know. I guess people still know how to give word that it was well received. Thank you, Whitefire.
I'll consider adding bookmarks if I ever feel up to it. If not, the file is open for whatever editing you feel like doing. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Now, to cook up some new TPK Opportun- I mean, "Level-Appropriate Challenges".... *Cackles maniacally*
@Whitefire: I'm not sure, but I think as long as the file is unlocked you can make the bookmarks.

I know this seems kind of greedy after we already got a patch, but will the Pitfights be premiering soon or will they appear after your extended Hiatus? _________________ My other signature is an M1 Abrams MBT. |

Something I noticed, Titanic Summon says Prerequisite: Giant Size. There is no such size. Large, Huge, Gargantuan, Colossal are the sizes bigger than medium. |

Ah, missed that. I only looked over things quickly, as without book marks, it's hard enough. I just randomly clicked pages I knew had new stuff and looked. |

I've taken the initiative and have begun planning out my E-Rank gladiators rise to glory! I'm assuming i'll have to run summons by a judge, so i'm tweaking the some special summons i've been home-brewing. _________________ My other signature is an M1 Abrams MBT. |

Hello to you all! I've not been posting or reading much around these boards lately due to lack of time and lot of other issues concerning work/college, but now i intend to participate as much as i can, again.
I downloaded the update a few days ago, and here is what i can say:
Even if this wasn't a big update due to the time Frankto wasn't/isn't working on ND20, the summoning rework was very nice to see, the main "star" of this update. Many other small fixes/changes were also welcome, mainly the Tough Hero talent tree. I also liked the changes to medical techniques. The only thing i didn't like that much was the insect bloodpact. In my oppinion, i think there should be a different bloodpact for each specie of insect, not a whole "insect" bloodpact. But that's just a matter of oppinion, no big deal.
(Spoiler below)
And by the way, the Fushi Tensei/Orochimaru rework was great as well. Except for the Cursed Seal template, which i still don't think Orochimaru should have access too, otherwise he would have used it at least once
when in extreme danger (Sarutobi/Four Tails/Sasuke)
(No more spoiler)
But a nice update to see, congrats Frankto. I hope you return soon

The thing is, he gives Cursed Seal to those he takes the bodies of. So even if he doesn't use it, it would be on the body. Also, he pwned the 4 tails without trouble. Although, if you need a better reason. He got it when he was humanoid. Then he gained the snake form which is an aberration, aberrations can't use a template that doesn't work on aberrations. Therefore, he has it, but can't use it. |

He didn't defeat the 4 tails without trouble, not at all. See my answer on the other thread. Also, even if that happened, that doesn't mean he has the cursed seal. The cursed seal had absolutely nothing to do with that fight...
As for the cursed seal being on the bodies he takes, that would be a nice reason (That's probably what Frankto was thinking when adding the template), but still, he never uses it. And he would surely use it if he needed (Against Sandaime or 4 tails for example). As for the aberration thing, why gaining a LA for an ability you can't use? |

Well, maybe he does it as a test for his bodies. He captures hundreds at a time (like during the Kimimaro fight when it showed his lair), and chooses the stronest. He narrows it down to the strongest 1/10 by using it. As well, before Aberration form was gained, he may have used it for the cursed seal.
Another point to think about, during the hokage fight and the sannin fight (though remember he didn't have ninjutsu here, so he wouldn't have needed the chakra boost), his face was covered (remember he was actually female but changed his appearance with a layer of skin) which would have covered his real skin the CS covered.
And a third point, both kage's were fighting for him, Orochimaru himself did very little. Again, the extra chakra wouldn't do anything but exhaust him after it ended.
I like the first explanation best, but I gave a few others. |

Besides, sempai doesn't fit there. Secondly, don't use Japanese in the middle of an ALL ENGLISH SENTENCE IN AN ENGLISH FORUM (excluding the foreign language board). |

Really? Thats curious considering the rough translation of it means 'mentor' (or so wikipedia tells me) which is entirely what I was implying there. I certainly didn't learn how to use Naruto d20 on my own. Heh, and I'm curious why a japanese honorific is a problem. Not like I'm going to use English honorifics (And not just because I can't think up any good ones either) when I like using tidbits from other langauges.
.....Also, I think I'm gonna borrow that gif. Might come in handy. _________________ Dance Dance Uchiha Itachi!

It's not exactly a problem CallosDeTerran, some people like/use some people dislike/don't use. And some simply don't care |
